Iranian officials and analysts say that with the expiration of the arms embargo, they are now ready to sell weapons to other countries.
Iranian Defense Minister Amir Hatami gave an interview to Iranian television outlining the country’s plan now that the UN arms embargo — which was part of the nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — has expired. Hatami said numerous officials from various countries have visited Iran and are “surprised” by the progress the country has made in regards to their weapons industry despite sanctions.
